Chapter 193
In a blink of an eye, it has reached the end of the nineteenth year of Kangxi, Shu Wan has been seven months pregnant, the weather has been gloomy for the past few days, and I don't know when the sky began to snow, and she was frozen in the middle of the night.
"What's wrong? But the child is bothering you again? β
Kangxi, who was sleeping on the side, noticed her getting up, reached out to wrap his arms around her waist, and asked vaguely.
"It's okay, it's just that the concubine feels that her feet are a little cold, so she wants people to pour a soup woman to warm her feet."
"Cold?" Kangxi wrapped his big hand and hugged her into his arms, "I am warm." β
"Your Majesty?"
Now the two are covered with the same quilt, under the quilt, Kangxi hugged her, his chest was tightly pressed against her back, and then put her feet on his calves, and the warmth spread from the soles of his feet to his whole body.
"If it's really a little cold, is there anything else that gets cold?"
Shu Wan shook her head, "It's gone." β
Kangxi kissed her ear and whispered, "Okay, go to sleep." β
His body was really warm, Shu Wan smelled the faint smell of ambergris on his body with some obsession, and fell asleep unconsciously.
-------------------------------------
The snow fell in pieces all night, and the next day, when Kangxi was sent away, Shu Wan saw that there were palace people cleaning the snow on the bluestone slab, and the snow piled on it was white and flawless, but the snow below had been stained with muddy water.
I also remembered that Battle and Folgo were at the age of playfulness, and if they could build a big fat snowman, they would be very happy to see each other when they woke up.
After doing all this, back in the warm room, Zhixing hurriedly took off the cloak outside for her, and Zhiqiu handed her a cloisonnΓ© enamel lotus pattern handstove in due time.
"What's going on? I haven't seen you so diligent? β
Shu Wan smiled and handed the cloak to Zhixing, and then took the hand stove handed by Zhiqiu.
Zhiqiu said with a smile: "The emperor has specially explained just now, and asked the servants to take care of it carefully, and said that in the future, we will double the charcoal in Jingyang Palace." β
"Isn't it possible that you can't take good care of the palace without the emperor's instructions?"
Shu Wan tapped Zhiqiu on the head angrily, "You little girl, you have a hippie smile all day long, you are really an ancient spirit." β
Zhiqiu touched his head, "The emperor is so considerate, the slave is naturally very happy to see it." β
Shu Wan smiled lightly, and sat down with Zhixing's hand, "Just be happy in our palace in the future, don't lose your sense of proportion when you go out." β
"Niangniang rest assured, the slave and maid understand, those people in the palace look at Niangniang so favored, and even their eyes are about to fall out, how can the slave and maid go out to show off and make trouble for Niangniang, the slave and maid will only hide in the bed and secretly enjoy themselves."
Shu Wan lowered her head to hide her smile, and suddenly remembered something again, "By the way, where did Xiaodouzi go?" I don't seem to see him for a few days. β
"He went out to find out the news for his mother, since he became the head of this Jingyang Palace, he hasn't had a rest all day."
Shu Wan rubbed the jade bracelet on her wrist, Xiaodouzi has a sense of competition, since Sanxin came, Xiaodouzi has become more and more diligent, she sees all this in her eyes and remembers it in her heart.
Xiaodouzi is also good, she didn't live up to her trust, and after having a sense of competition, she didn't have the idea to squeeze Sanxin away or make other evil ways outside the door, but she did things more attentively, this is what the eunuch in charge of the first palace should look like.
"He is also the chief eunuch of Jingyang Palace now, it is not decent to always call him Xiaodouzi like this, so let's call him his name in the future."
"Yes."
"The three of you have been following this palace, and you have also worked hard, and we have added a lot of minions after moving to this Jingyang Palace, so you can set the table and drink and get to know everyone well."
By the way, screen out some people who are not in the right mind.
Zhixing and Zhiqiu naturally understood the meaning of her words, looked at each other and smiled, and said respectfully: "Yes, the slave obeys the order." β
-------------------------------------
Yongshou Palace
Sandalwood curls, and on the table is a Diamond Sutra and several stacks of account books, on which are the pair of Seven Treasure bracelets.
The air was filled with a solemn smell, but when you smell it carefully, this solemnity is mixed with a sweet smell of goldenrod rouge.
Concubine Hui sat on the edge of the couch with half of her body, holding the beauty in both hands, and beating the legs of the Queen Mother.
The Empress Dowager put three cushions on her back, squeezed out a two-layer double chin, covered with a bed of black fox fur, played with a turquoise bracelet in her hand, her eyes closed slightly, and looked condescendingly at Concubine Hui who was beating her legs.
"Alright, let's rest."
The Empress Dowager spoke softly, and Concubine Hui immediately stepped aside.
Su Ma hurriedly beckoned a few little palace maids to step forward and moved the pillow behind the Empress Dowager forward, and the Empress Dowager sat up, her body was huge and her skin was loose, and as soon as she sat up, she blocked most of the light in the room.
Concubine Hui was careful not to speak out, the Empress Dowager took a breath, took a sip of the tea handed over by Su Ma, and then said out loud: "You have done a good job these days, Concubine Tong is sick, and the emperor handed over the palace affairs to you, which is also a kind of trust in you." β
Concubine Hui showed a hint of joy on her face, "Yes, Empress Dowager Xie praised it." β
The Empress Dowager nodded, her face suddenly changed, and a fine light shot out of Mung Bean's small eyes, "But, you haven't done what the mourning family asked you to do, why are those villains still alive?" β
Concubine Hui plucked up her courage and said: "The emperor has just handed over the palace affairs to the concubines, in case something happens at this time, the concubines are also afraid... I can't afford it. β
Concubine Tong is seriously ill, she is the most powerful person in the harem, and now that the palace power in her hands has not been warmed up, and she has not tasted enough to command the six palaces, how can she be willing to hand over the palace power?
The Empress Dowager sighed softly, and sure enough, whether it is a man or a woman, power is like poison, once you have tasted the good taste of power, you are no longer willing to let go.
At the beginning, Concubine Tong was seriously ill, and someone in the harem needed to come out to preside over the overall situation, and the Empress Dowager, who had gone through three dynasties, was the most suitable candidate, but later the Empress Dowager took the initiative to recommend Concubine Hui to the emperor as an agent for palace affairs under the pretext of old age.
First, because the Empress Dowager knows that the emperor is very sorry for her now, and secondly, with her current physical strength, she is really powerless, so it is better to ask someone to recommend to the emperor, and Concubine Hui is her favorite candidate.
Concubine Hui is arrogant and not favored, and more importantly, she has a big brother under her knees, and the big brother can already stand, and in a few years, she will follow the emperor to the court, and Concubine Hui naturally has to plan in advance for the big brother.
Besides, although the crown prince has been established, who doesn't want to fight for that position?
Facts also proved that the Empress Dowager did not missee the wrong person, after Concubine Hui took over the palace affairs, she really took care of the palace affairs in an orderly manner, and all incidents had to be reported to Yongshou Palace, which can be said to make the Empress Dowager very satisfied.
Now that I say this, I just want to knock and knock Concubine Hui, there are a lot of difficult bones in the harem, and I am not in a hurry at this time.
Concubine Hui's attitude of bowing down and being small obviously made the Empress Dowager very satisfied, and the Empress Dowager glanced at her obliquely and said, "What you said is not bad. β
"The concubines can have today, and they all rely on the Queen Mother's teaching."
The Empress Dowager smiled lovingly, "I know that you are a sensible person, but the mourning family looks at what you are wearing is too plain, this is the end of the year, you should also wear a festive point, Su Ma, bring the gold inlaid treasure peacock hairpin of the mourning family and reward it to Concubine Hui." β
Concubine Hui hurriedly stepped forward to thank her, "Thank the Empress Dowager for reward." β
"The mourning family looks at you as a good one, and the mourning family also has a pair of hundred butterfly peony gold bracelets, which are all jewelry worn by the mourning family when they were young, if you do a good job, you will be rewarded."
Concubine Hui held her right hand in her left hand, her heart was beating rapidly, her little face was flushed, and she didn't know if she was stuffy by the overheated heat in this room or smoked by the heavy breathless sandalwood fragrance, Concubine Hui felt that even her own head was a little dizzy, "The Empress Dowager loves her concubines so much, and the concubines are the only ones who should be the Empress Dowager." β
